Answer:

B. local water contamination

D. destruction of ecosystems

Explanation:

The mining, be it a surface one or underground one, has several negative impacts on the surrounding area. Two common negative impacts of both types of mining are contamination of the local waters, as well as the destruction of ecosystems.

The waters get heavily polluted with toxic chemicals pretty much always ad everywhere where there is mining. The main reason for this is that the nus-products from the mining are released into the waters. This causes high level pollution of the waters, thus making it not good for anything, and the aquatic life in the waters dies out rapidly.

The fact that the waters are heavily polluted means that everything that comes in touch with them becomes heavily polluted as well. Also, apart from releasing chemicals in the waters, the mining requires space, so the area is cleared out, and after that lot of toxic material is disposed on it. The majority of the plants can sustain that, so they die out, and since they are the basis of the ecosystems, the animals die out as well.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

If I had to choose I would live in a large planned city. Each day would be similar, and I would not have to worry about things that could happen. In a planned community, everything is perfectly designed, so everything runs smoothly. This would be perfect for me since I like order. In an unplanned city things won't always go smoothly, and things can get messed. Up or ruined. I prefer to stay on the safe side and live in a perfect planned-out city.
